Dieu Huong Vegetarian Restaurant

Delightful little Vietnamese eatery serving massive portions of vegan and allium-free cooking. Dieu Huong (previously known as Thanh Van) Restaurant serves more varieties of tofu and seitan than I originally thought possible, with each dish packed with flavor, protein, and veggies. They sell each of their dishes by weight / container, so it's a great place to go if you just don't want to cook for the week or want to stock up on a bit of delicious Vietnamese vegetarian cooking. However, if you do manage to snag a spot at one of the four tables inside their tiny, hole-in-the-wall shop, you can sample a few of their lovely dishes immediately. I visited for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, and my friend and I both got one of their combo platters, which comes with three dishes of our choice, a bed of rice, and a side of soup. I honestly could not tell you what any of the dishes are called, as we decided to just try to sample as many of the selection as possible, but every single item was incredible. It was all packed with flavor and had a phenomenal texture; both tofu and seitan act like sponges and soak up all the sauces and seasonings, so each bite feels like an explosion of flavor. If you aren't sure what to get, I would recommend just getting a combo platter to sample as many things as possible, and then get a to-go container of whatever your favorite was. Or, if you want a slightly more curated experience, they also have a menu with pre-selected combinations or soup / noodle dishes you can choose from.

Small restaurant located in a strip mall. The ladies running the place are very nice. We had the bun bo hue which was so flavorful. They also make their vegetarian "Fermented fish paste" that's available on the table as a condiment for the bun bo hue which was so special and delicious. They recommended their "salted fish" fried rice, com chien ca man, which is new on their menu but I can already tell, it's going to be one of their classic dishes. The rice was nice and moist and the flavors all married together very well. One of the best fried rice and bun bo hue dishes we've had and that's comparing and including dishes with meat. I hope someday they'll be able to extend and open a bigger place to share their cooking talents with more people.

This place is actually vegan and not just vegetarian (I speak Vietnamese and I asked). Awesome authentic food, super friendly people! You can eat in, order from the menu for take-out, or order some of the ready-made dishes to go. I'll be coming back often. Edit: Almost 1 year later, and I come here pretty much weekly! They have awesome homey dishes with generous portions, and great entrees for takeout. They also recently added more dishes to the menu and it's amazing!

I cannot believe this place exists. It's a dream!! I went for the first time today and had no idea what I was doing. The woman who helped me was SO nice and funny. I just pointed at things that looked good and she told me what they were😂 I ordered the rice + 3, which is basically when you get a ton of rice and point to three things on the bar and it's put on top. It's amazing as a vegan being able to eat anything I point to lol. The food was absolutely incredible. Super flavorful and plentiful for the price!!! I'm so sad I didn't find this place sooner since my move to DC. I will definitely come back!!

The place was inside some Asian shopping complex. Lots of Thai and Vietnamese eateries in the complex. This place stands out because of only vegetarian options. The atmosphere has 2 stars because it was sweet corner for delicious food and not restaurant. The place looked like more of take out place. This place takes Cash. I was so delighted to see so many options were available as a vegetarian. Very quick service. Very homely and comforting bowl of soup. Worth the money.
